If the reel assembly is clean and properly lubricated, the three reels
should spin randomly, independently of one another. In this case, the
statistical payout of the slot machine is determined by the symbols on
the reel strips, the winning combinations, and the amount of coins
paid out for these winning combinations ...
To compute the total number of combinations possible, multiply the
number of symbols on the first reel times the number of symbols on the
second reel times the number of symbols on the third reel. For a three
reel, twenty-stop slot machine, such as this one, the total number of
combinations possible is 20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000.
To compute the number of winning combinations possible and ultimately
the percentage of coins returned to the player ...
... there are 6,340 coins returned for every 8,000 played ... = 79.25%
